MS Society video for MS Awareness Month

You've probably been getting e-mails about how March is MS Awareness Month (unless you live in several parts of the world where May or some other month is MS Awareness Month). Since everyone here is entirely too aware of MS, I don't know if we need to mention it, but the MS Society has produced a video about MS.

Me too! That marathon-running and mountain-climbing crowd is unreal. I even wonder if the drug companies make those people up, though I do recall that one woman with MS who runs even though she always collapses at the end. She was real enough.

The first time I discovered I couldn't run, we had eaten at a restaurant, and my grandniece and I had left while my sister paid the bill, and as soon as we had stepped out the door, my little grandniece (about 4) took off running. I was so afraid she would dart out in front of a car.

I yelled her name, and tried to run after her, and I'm sure I was quite comical looking trying to run. I didn't have control over any part of my body. How I didn't fall was nothing short of a miracle. I caught her and she was okay, but it took a while for it to sink in that I couldn't run anymore.
